This is the inroduction to the book I'm attempting to write before Jaden turns 5. Just wanted some feedback on what you all thought of it
( Read more... )
I had a Pooh sleeping bag when I was little, named mockey. I never let my mom wash it, because it would loose that sour spit/sweat/snot smell I loved so much. I have it in a plastic bag in my closet still. You have made me feel less silly for keeping it around.
That was a beautifully written piece, and I am extremely impressed with your ability to translate a child's inspiration into such an elegant and fun tale.
It's still very much so in the "works" process. I have the intro completely finished (the piece you read) and I am now reworking chapters 1 and 2. I have a problem with writing like a screenplay. Little description, lots of dialouge. So I'm trying to retool everything. I've got the whole story in my head (it's gonna be 4 parts. One for each nightmare Nny battles), which makes it kinda difficult, cause I feel I need to go in order, so I don't ruin continuity.
I'm hoping, once complete everyone will really enjoy this, just because everyone had a relic like this in their life when they were a child.
But thank you very much, and yes once I have more completed I'll let you see it.
And no, your not dumb for having your sleeping bag around still. Maybe it's still protcting you at night???

Well, I have wondered what was lurking in my bed at night nawing on my hair and cuddling up to me...but I have deduced after long investigation that it is a mixture of the two psychotic cats and Josh sleeping in the same 4-poster as me. Yet, you never know...dun dun dun
